Anyone still going hard with Facebook’s detailed targeting?

[blackhatvenom]

Curious if anyone here is still using Facebook’s detailed targeting aggressively and managing to stay safe. I’ve been testing narrow interest stacks and layered audiences, but I’m always worried it’ll trip a review or flag my account. What’s working for you guys to stay under the radar while still getting conversions? Any tips to keep accounts alive while pushing hard on targeting?

I split my targeting into several small ad sets and rotate creatives every few days. Keeps delivery stable and avoids drawing attention.

Don’t over-optimize. When Facebook sees too many changes too fast, it sometimes flags you. Let the learning phase finish first.

Avoid using the same interest group on multiple accounts. That’s an easy way to get pattern flagged.

Keep your ad text clean and focus on value. Most bans come from wording, not targeting.

I use lookalikes from pixel data instead of stacking 5+ interests. More natural results and safer.

Interest stacking still works, but warm up accounts slowly. Sudden spikes in CTR raise red flags.

Refresh ad creatives regularly and don’t reuse banned ones — Facebook logs that hash.

Try running soft content first, then retarget with the real offer. Works better for sensitive niches.

Limit how much data you pull from one BM. Spread spend across a few aged profiles.

Avoid copy-pasting the same ad text across multiple pages. Meta tracks that pattern easily.

Some of my best campaigns use just broad targeting + strong creatives. Facebook’s AI does better when you give it room.

 

[Alpha Tiger]

Always test with low spend for the first few days. If it survives review, then scale slow.

Cloaking is risky, but if you must, use something like TrafficShield — it’s safer than cheap scripts.

I balance between manual targeting and broad audiences. Once pixel data builds, I move everything to lookalikes.

You can retarget website visitors with Pixel. Avoid health, gender, political, religious groups. Use more action-based targeting methods.

 

[SpyderSprinkles]

I’ve been using broad targeting with solid creative and then layering in detailed targeting at a lower intensity—keeps things fresh without triggering FB's radar, and it still gets great results!

How much can you scale like this, and how long have you been doing it?
Can you bring more details, please?

Can you explain a bit better?

In my experience, the most stable approach is to focus on a clean setup and natural ad behavior: keep your accounts, pages, and BM in good standing; use high-quality, non-spammy creatives; avoid overly narrow audiences; and give Facebook’s machine learning enough data to optimize. When your assets stay healthy and show no risky signals, using detailed targeting becomes much safer while still delivering conversions.
